Chapter 1579 Frightened Dogs

One hundred and eighty thousand swords were all transforming into Taixuan!

Every single sword qi was enough to make any True Saint despair, let alone all of them together.

Shi Pohai was the first to have a taste of it. He was like a lonely boat in the ocean, enduring the flapping of the waves and was constantly under the risk of capsizing.

Bang, bang, bang!

The sea of sword qi quickly enveloped Shi Pohai, who used everything he had to fight back. His silver halberd almost got knocked out of his hand.

The defensive measures that fully covered him weren’t spared from the sword qi’s bombardment either.

In just a split second, his face became white as a sheet, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. Without any hesitation, he deployed the various treasures in his personal effects to fend off the sword qi.

There was a small bell that looked like it was made of purest violet jade, a large seal engraved with small animals and scenery of nature, a treasure tome shrouded in a colorful blaze...

All these treasures revealed the depths of a domain camp’s leader, showing that they had not only exceptional talent and superb battle prowess but also no shortage of any divine treasures and powerful techniques to go with them.

Only after throwing out all sorts of treasures did Shi Pohai barely block off the ocean of sword qi, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief...

Swish!

A rustic wooden sword flew out from Lin Xun’s palm. It couldn’t look any more ordinary except for the character ‘Edict’ branded on the blade, which was permeated with an Emperor’s aura.

This little detail alone elevated the seemingly ordinary wooden sword into something completely different!

The moment it hit his sight, Shi Pohai’s scalp went numb in terror. He screamed, “Imperial Sword of Edict?! It’s Jian Qingchen’s most prized treasure! How can it be in your hands? Could it be...”

He had a guess!

One that made him completely unable to calm down.

However, before Shi Pohai could struggle to break away from dense sword rain, Lin Xun uttered, “Go.”

The wooden sword whistled out.

The word ‘Edict’ glowed with an obscure light like a deity coming to life. Unable to withstand such power, the void in its wake exploded!

“Haste!”

Shi Pohai refused to sit back and wait for death. His eyes became blood-shot, and he looked like a madman as he unhesitatingly resorted to his ultimate life-saver.

It was a golden alms bowl, which flew up into the air and clashed with the wooden sword.

Kaboom!

The land shook, and everything within sunk underground. Seawater fiercely poured in, heaving up mountainous waves.

The next moment, Shi Pohai fell from the air into the sea while covered in blood, which came out not only from his seven orifices but also from the cracks all over his skin.

Following Hua Hongxiao, Shi Pohai suffered a serious injury!

All of this took time to describe, but everything had happened in just the blink of an eye.

On a different side, Xue Qingyi was also being put to shame.

The Broken Blade was an elusive streak of light that was impossible to be locked on, so fast that it seemed light and illusory. However, every time it struck, Xue Qingyi would suffer a huge tremor despite managing to block it. It caused his tendons and bones to go numb and his blood and qi to flow backward, which was unbearable.

This was the Impermanence Slash.

The impermanence was uncertain and undefined, capable of threatening gods and demons!

When he saw Shi Pohai suffering a heavy blow, Xue Qingyi shivered with a horrified expression.

Imperial Sword of Edict!

How could Xue Qingyi not know who its original owner was?

His hair stood on end at the thought of the possibility that the Great Luo Ancient Domain’s Jian Qingchen had fallen.

“Since time is running out, I’ll send you on your way!”

Lin Xun’s momentum had reached the peak as he stormed forward. The Yuantu Sword swept up and chopped out a sword qi.

No Escape!

The lifelong knowledge of the Battle Emperor Mo Yang was fused into this sword strike, and at this moment, it was being interpreted by Lin Xun with the Yuantu Sword.

A blood-colored sword qi soared into the air. It was like the lord of swords, filled with an unstoppable power that made one feel like they were trapped in a mire of hopelessness.

“DIE!” Xue Qingyi, who was entangled by the Broken Blade, went berserk and began to fight for his life.

Upon his summoning, a blood-red edict scroll wrapped in lightning bolts emerged with a destructive aura that quickly spread in all directions. It was like an edict from the god of thunder.

This was undoubtedly his ultimate life-saving measure.

BOOM!

The instant the two treasures collided, destructive fluctuations spread like ocean waves. A blinding white that resembled cosmic chaos blanketed the region.

The battle formation of True Saints had to use every bit of strength just to dissolve these horrifying fluctuations.

The foreign audience was also having a tough time as the formation hiding them was shaking violently under the impact!

It ended with Xue Qingyi coughing blood and retreating quickly. He convulsed nonstop, and his handsome face was as white as a sheet.

At this point, all the three camp leaders had suffered serious injuries!

One was crushed by the Dao Immeasurable Bottle, one was defeated by the Imperial Sword of Edict, and one was heavily wounded by Lin Xun with No Escape.

It had all happened in at most a couple of minutes, but the power and absolute dominance that Lin Xun had displayed shocked everyone present.

Is he still human?

Countless cultivators were shaking like a leaf with expressions of despair.

At the beginning of the fight, they had been fearless, which had been backed up by an extravagant lineup that they thought would easily kill Lin Xun like swatting a fly.

However, what had followed were several successive slaps from reality!

First, a group of thirty supreme Saints had been killed left and right.

Then, nearly a hundred supreme Saints had been thwarted before they could start to make an impact. They had been trapped in the misty formation and then shot by an arrow, which had left only about a dozen survivors.

Now, the three leaders’ siege had still failed to suppress Lin Xun’s momentum. On the contrary, they had been heavily wounded one by one!

This series of onslaughts had caught everyone by surprise every time. The ferocity that Lin Xun had shown struck fear into them all.

It was simply too terrifying!

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed that the weak, fallen Ancient Wasteland Domain had produced such a heaven-defying character, as if he was invincible!

“You have already dealt all your cards at this point, and you can’t hold on for much longer. What do you have left to show off now?” Xue Qingyi’s expression was as gloomy as a rain cloud, his voice chilling.

“Not enough to show off, no, but enough to send you on your way.” Lin Xun took a deep breath and gripped the Yuantu Sword, about to continue his attack.

Right at this moment, there was a strong whistling sound, and the air suddenly tumbled. The heavily wounded Hua Hongxiao and Shi Pohai had fled far away together!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They fled?

Two of the Azure Blue Eight Supremes, the leaders of their camps, actually fled without a word?

This caught the entire field off guard!

It was so unexpected that even Lin Xun was taken aback. When he finally reacted, it was already too late to give chase. The two men had obviously used everything they had left to run, looking like they wished their parents had given them two more legs at birth. Their action couldn’t be more efficient and crisp.

Xue Qingyi’s pupils dilated violently, his eyes bulging out. Unable to take it, he roared bitterly, “You...you...you stupid buffoons!”

He was close to exploding from rage. After having fought all the way to this point, Shi Pohai and Hua Hongxiao had actually just upped and fled without a warning.

How could he not be furious?

“Seems that they all value their lives. After all, it’s still possible to make a comeback as long as you live, but if you die, everything will come to naught.” Lin Xun’s lips curled up in disdain, his dark eyes locking on Xue Qingyi. “Jian Qingchen also wanted to escape, but I didn’t give the poor guy a chance. In fact, I hope that you will have some backbone and don’t behave like those frightened dogs.”

“What, you really killed Jian Qingchen?” Xue Qingyi trembled from head to foot.

Meanwhile, all the other foreign cultivators had frozen stiff. Jian Qingchen was a peerless Sword Saint with horrifying offensive power!

But he was dead?!

“You can ask him yourself after you join him in hell.”

As Lin Xun spoke, he charged out. Every stroke he drew with his sword pulled in the momentum of heaven and earth and came out in endless succession.

Each sword qi was blazing brilliantly, stirring up the world and breaking apart the horizon. Their resounding chants struck all the hearers to the core, making their internal organs split.

Xue Qingyi was an extremely cautious and careful person, otherwise, he wouldn’t have held back until today to start retaliating after the havoc Lin Xun had wreaked in the Blood Demon Territory.

With Shi Pohai and Hua Hongxiao escaping, he had realized that the situation was not optimistic at all.

Facing Lin Xun’s offensive charge, his first thought was to retreat. He had no intention of putting up a stiff resistance.

He was the leader of the Blood Demon Camp with a bright future ahead of him, so how could he possibly be willing to risk his life fighting Lin Xun?

Even if he did and somehow managed to win, it would only be a pyrrhic victory with no benefits to reap. He would most likely be gravely injured, so there would be more to lose than to gain.

And in the case of his defeat, the ones who stood to benefit in the end would only be people like Kun Shaoyu, Zhu Yingkong, Lie Qian, and Chi Wushu.

If that happened, the unwillingness and regrets would make Xue Qingyi rise from his grave!

In this instant, Xue Qingyi had made up his mind...

To retreat!

He was even more decisive than Hua Hongxiao and Shi Pohai; he completely abandoned the True Saints in the Heavens’ Justice Battle Formation.

As for the cultivators hiding in the grand formation, he couldn’t care less as they were all a bunch of longevity kings who hadn’t become supreme Saints. If they died, they died.

“Lin Xun, the next time we meet, I will make sure you die!” Xue Qingyi roared a spiteful curse, then suddenly called upon a bloody bead.

Boom!

𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The bloody bead exploded with a sky-piercing power, leaving a scarlet gas cloud that raged all over the place. With a frown, Lin Xun waved his sleeve and dispersed it.

When the air cleared up, Xue Qingyi had long vanished.

“Smart man,” sighed Lin Xun softly.

He didn’t go after him because the time and situation didn’t allow it. The ultimate purpose of coming here was not to kill the enemy, but to escort the Ancient Wasteland Domain supreme characters into the Origin Magnet Secret Realm.

At the moment, the entrance to this secret realm was about to appear in full.

As for Xue Qingyi’s group... They might be alive for now, but Lin Xun would make sure none of them would have escaped their fate by the end of this domain conflict!

Meanwhile, the crowd was still baffled by the fact that Xue Qingyi had fled right after the other two. In doing so, he had directly abandoned them!

The True Saints all had the urge to curse out loud. How could the feeling of being left behind be anywhere near comfortable?

Especially those who were affiliated with the Blood Demon Ancient Domain, each and every one of them looked like they had just suddenly become orphaned.

Xue Qingyi was their leader.

But he had actually straight-out abandoned them!

The area was dead silent. All the foreign cultivators looked gloomy, finally experiencing what was called ‘no greater sorrow than a heart that never rejoices.’

That the leaders at the level of Xue Qingyi, Shi Pohai, and Hua Hongxiao had all chosen to flee for their lives was too heavy a blow!

“It appears that we don’t need an incense stick of time to decide this battle.” Lin Xun smiled. His eyes zapped like lightning as he scanned the True Saints in the distance and strode forward.

Today, he had declared that he would stop every foreign enemy from entering the Origin Magnet Secret Realm. Now, he naturally needed to uphold his promise!
